Fuel stats when dumping

Does anyone know how long it takes dumped fuel to totally evaporate? Does an odour linger and can this be smelt by any following a/c that fly through the vapour? And finally is there a MAXIMUM altitude above which certain a/c types cannot dump?

I ask this as an ATCer trying to broaden current knowledge so I'm aware of the minimum FL's etc. We're told standard separation can be applied but it just seems a little risky to me

Any replies appreciated, 5mb
